I'm in Sweden, and unfortunately I can't find the same product on amazon.com. However, all I did was search for the Porsche part no. 99363119302.
Here's one that looks like it's exactly the same:...

A new ballast solved the problem. However, since I wasn't too keen on paying the Porsche tax, I found a replacement on Amazon. The difference was that it didn't have the screw holes for mounting it...

Remove struts without complete disassembly?

I'm planning on installing a set of coilovers on my -99 base Boxster. Last summer I replaced all the wheel bearings and it was an absolute pain to disassemble everything. Is there some way I can...

I didn't replace the ignitor, but I did mount a new switch. That didn't help, though, so the ignitor is next on the list.

I've done just that, and it works very well. Highly recommended! Especially if you track the car occasionally. :)

It turned out that BC Racing stopped making coilovers for the 986. :p
So I found a set of H&R coilovers where only the height is adjustable. They were very reasonably priced though, since they had...

Parts for top mounts?

I've bought a complete set of H&R coilovers for my -99 Boxster. When mounting them, I'd also like to replace the upper mounts, which weren't included, as you can see in the picture....

Thanks, everyone! I replaced the bulb with a brand new one. It's only on the left hand side and only occasionally, but according to Smallblock454 it could also be the light switch? I've bought a new...

Litronic occasionally turns itself off?

I have factory Litronic headlights on my base -99. Recently I've discovered that the left light turns itself off from time to time. There's no obvious pattern to it. When I turn the lights off and on...

That's good news. They're a lot cheaper to replace. Otherwise you could just remove them. That seems to be a popular solution as well.

Hi,
I haven't posted here in quite a while, but there's something on my mind.
